T-rump is purposely escalating to gain more power and control. He's destroying the country and all the idiots standing by and supporting him deserve the worthless communist country that will be left. I just can't fathom how people can be so ignorant, blind and stupid.

George Soros and other big money libtards pay me to burn vehicles, loot businesses and destroy property. It's my constitutional right, and most federal judges will stand behind me!

BS! Destroying Property iIS NOT a right! It’s a crime and should be dealt with as such. However, The Judicial System is BROKEN!

It doesn’t mater what branch of service is assigned to this detail. Each branch is fully equipped and trained for this type of actions.

Please look up the definition of Insurrection before posting. It's a protest in a small area of LA. The simpleton-in-chief is trying to blow things out of proportion in order to try to expand presidential powers. He's the true threat to this country.

And, in many other cities. Find a reputable news source. CNN is not one of them.

Because we have a constitutional right to protest peacefully and I believe it was peaceful and Trump escalated it!

I support peaceful protesters. I don't support Trump's intentional escalation and provoking violence, nor do I support the blanket arrests of non criminal undocumented immigrants.

I agree with Max! I was there During the R.K. Riots. There is NO REASON to destroy your own City. This is Terrorism! Trump offered Military Assistance to the City of Portland when ANTIFA did the same thing. Gov. Brown-nose and Mayor Adam Henry refused the assistance. Town was ransacked.

I paid several thousands of dollars to bring my husband here legally and jumped through all the red tape. Laws are Laws. If as a US citizen I have to follow the rules so does everyone else! Open boarders should never happen here!

Not seeing very good returns on the 5 day schedule. Are we sure 4 days are the answer. Dropping standards is never an option. You soften standards on discipline and look where it has got you. Do the hard right over the easy wrong.

One full day, for the kids to be unsupervised, in most cases, spells DANGER for them, but if it's good for the teachers, then let's do it. Teachers Unions have been so good, for so for so long, for everyone, but the children, and their parents....

Income tax is unconstitutional when all other taxes are placed on top of it.

It's time to position Missouri for growth. We need to attract business and population growth not more stagnation. Taxes need to be affordable based on what people can pay, not what government wants to spend. Government needs to budget just like families.

I am in favor of a state income tax cap of 3 percent and eliminating the personal property tax completely.

The harder that people work, the more taxes they pay. That's wrong. The people that won't work should pay the most taxes.

This is the #1 tax cut that will help Grow Missouri. Eliminating State Income Tax will attract Business, Create Jobs and increase our population. This also exclusively benefits Missourians.

Ban state employees from attending professional and college sports events. Also ban state employees from displaying college/university personalized license plates on their vehicles.

If phasing out taxes, phases out Socialism, then it's a great idea.

We eliminated capital gains tax last year and now our target is income tax? I feel we should get more productive spending and figure out the position of our tax burden before we think about eliminating income tax. It feels like Gov. Kehoe is using this as political points.

We all need to be paying our fair share. There are other questionable taxes to be looked into and removed. Along with tax cuts, cuts to the bureaucracy as well.

The tax we need to eliminate or change is personal property tax on vehicles, tractors, trailers, etc. There should be no taxes paid on anything an individual has owned longer than ten years.

Sales taxes are paid by the poor. Income taxes favor the poor. Unless a refund of sales taxes is an option, income taxes are cheaper for low income people. And a sales tax refund is probably just as complex as filing income taxes. Either way the government is getting our money.

Missouri barely pays for WIC, SNAP, Healthcare, and education as is. The Trump Admin passed a bill that will cancel more funding to states for these. Who's going to replace the main source of revenue? The billionaire class? Absolutely not. Our state only offers cheap living; this will raise prices.
